Although this wiki covers anything and everything Bible, the primary inspiration that got us started was [[the modern midrashic, literary, figural-symbolic, pattern-based hermeneutical renaissance]] which been rising within academia since around the 1980s and is now [[Midrashic hermeneutical resources#Modern_sources_who_make_use_of_midrashic_hermeneutical_methodologies|increasingly beginning to reach the laity]] largely via the help of video/podcast material favorably accessible to the modern information consumer. Learn from [[midrashic hermeneutical resources]] or participate in [[midrashic hermeneutical discussion communities]].

== Participate easily! ==
One quick and easy way to help build this knowledgebase is to '''simply add a bullet point''' to one of our existing [[:Category:Lists|lists]] such as:
* [[List of chiasms]] in the Bible, from meta-high-level (e.g. Genesis+Exodus, the book of Leviticus, John+Revelation) to micro-level (e.g. Mark 2:27)
* List of [[literary tools]] for Biblical interpretation (e.g. [[intertextuality]], [[List of chiasms|chiasm]], juxtaposition, parallelism)
* List of [[midrashic hermeneutical resources]] (e.g. [https://https://www.alephbeta.org AlephBeta], [https://theopolisinstitute.com Theopolis], [http://bibleproject.com BibleProject])
* [[List of numbers with possible significance]] (e.g. 153, 318, 613, [[666]], 1260)

"Wiki" means "quick." The process is supposed to be fast and painless. On Bible Wiki you need not even write a complete sentence! Just include enough information that other Bible Wiki editors and researchers, or your future self, can understand what is intended and flesh it out more fully later, if necessary. DUMP YOUR DATA HERE PLEASE!

== Deeper participation ==
This wiki is new and we are taking a gradual approach to opening up the configuration parameters so as not to become overcome by spambots and whatnot before the technical and personnel guardrails are in place to prevent such nuisances. Anonymous users can read the entire site, add to or edit existing pages, and create new Talk/Discussion pages, but for now you need an [[User_talk:Zekeriya|admin to create an account for you]] if you wish to create new (article) pages.</text>
